Re: Very cold weather shoot - HPX-170 appropriate?

Last time I shot in the snow we didn't have LCDs so not sure there... =) and I dunno if I'd worry much about the lens mechanics. I don't think a hand-warmer would get hot enough to cause issues with condensation inside the lens but I don't think I'd bother with it anyways (unless the camera guy's hands are freezing).

Batteries can certainly be an issue. Useable capacity can drop greatly in the cold and I'd consider some means of protecting the batteries from extreme temperatures.
